DAVID HAYE has admitted that he finds Tony Bellew "grating" ahead of their December 17 clash - and allowed the Liverpudlian to get under his skin in the first fight.The Hayemaker was heavy favourite when the pair met at the O2 Arena in March, but was shocked by Bellew and saw his corner throw in the towel.The 36-year-old, who still has aspirations to win a heavyweight strap, reckons he has learned his lesson from that loss.At a press conference on Wednesday, Haye was asked if he 'liked' Bellew.He replied: "Not that much.

I’d done Pirates and Lord of the Rings and Troy. But this time, I was number one on the call sheet of this very expensive, very big movie.

“I DON’T think cultural authenticity is majorly important in music,” Mik Pyro tells SFTW ahead of the launch show for his new solo project.“If it was important for the Stones, you wouldn’t have middle-class guys from London with degrees in economics playing Delta blues.”It might seem somewhat redundant a point for the Dubliner to make, given he’s spent the five years since his hip hop-influenced soul band Republic of Loose split playing old blues standards.Yet it perhaps cuts to the point of why what was, at one point, one of Ireland’s most-celebrated bands never really broke through outside the country, despite investing a lot of money in touring abroad.There was always a feeling, for all their domestic success and the sense Pyro was a troubled genius constantly on the cusp of something great, that they were never taken seriously enough at home — or overseas.Part of this was self-inflicted — their four albums are filled with … [Read more...] about Mik Pyro reveals what he learned during The Republic of Loose days and how he’s rediscovered what it’s like to be a musician
